Once again hello and welcome to my channel. I am K.A.Rahaman from dtange.com. This is the second video of my graphic design learning document series. In the first video I have already said that I am doing a diploma in graphic design and so far CorelDRAW has been completed. So in this video I will discuss what I have learnt about CorelDRAW.
What is CorelDRAW? CorelDRAW is a vector graphic editor designed and marketed by Corel corporation and used by different graphic designers.
What they taught me about CorelDRAW in their institute? They taught CorelDRAW in two different parts - 1. First they taught the software. How to use CorelDRAW? How to work on CorelDRAW? Help us familiarize different tools, menubar, optionbar, workplace, panels of the software. The first part is all about the software itself. 2. In the second part project work has to be done using CorelDRAW. And you have to submit those projects in a certain time to the institute. And CorelDRAW related projects given by faculty are - logo design, business card, letterhead, envelope, package design, T-shirt design, flyers, leaflet, brochure, banner. Hoarding, standee, dangler, book cover design, magazine cover, CD/DVD cover, birthday card, product catalogue, newspaper ads and sticker banner. It took almost two months to finish CorelDRAW. After that I had to attend a small test. The test was the combination of both theory and practical. In the theory exam they gave a question paper full of CorelDraw and vector image related questions and in practical they gave a project work and I had to finish it in front of the faculty. The overall exam was quite well. I did perform quite good. After CorelDRaw the next software in the schedule is Adobe Photoshop, which has been started.
Now how important is it to learn CorelDRAW as a graphics designer? Well CorelDRAW is a very powerful vector graphic editing software. You can do almost any vector graphic project work using CorelDRAW. But there is other vector graphic software called Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator gives you better output than CorelDRAw. It’s the industry standard software application. Right now illustrator is used more than any other vector graphic software. It’s dominating the market.
And you don’t need to learn CorelDRAW to become a good graphic designer. What you need to learn is the three main softwares as a graphic designer and those are - Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Indesign. These three softwares are the heart of graphic designing.
So why are they still teaching CorelDRAW, when you can do the same task better way using Adobe Illustrator? That’s a nice question. And I asked the same question to our faculty. The teacher answered the question in a very good way. Though they are going to teach their students Adobe Illustrator, still they include CorelDRAW in their course schedule. Because some companies still use CorelDraw instead of Adobe Illustrator. And after a diploma a student goes for a job as a graphic designer, some companies still require CorelDRAW in your resume. That's Why they also teach CorelDRAW alongside Adobe Illustrator.
But I like to use Illustrator instead of CorelDraw. And soon I am going to learn Illustrator. After photoshop they will teach Illustrator.
So, the conclusion is you can be a good graphic designer without learning CorelDRAW. But still you can learn it if you want to. There are lots of good online video courses out there to learn CorelDRAW. But I am not going to make any other CorelDRAW related video in this document series. In the next few videos I am going to discuss Adobe Photoshop. So please stay tuned.
